People pleasers are teated like doormats, and then wonder why they are burnt out all the time.

Because you’ve created a relationship where you’re giving more than you are receiving.

This creates an imbalance in the relationship between you and your clients 📉

Giving away your time and product will burn you to a crisp.

Make you resent your career.

And certainly make you broke as hell in the end.

👉🏼🙋🏻‍♀️ I know, because I gave away $23,000 worth of time, product, and discounts in one year.

A year when I made only $4.50/hr as a independent stylist.

🌱 Then I transformed my business into something where people willingly give me $100 for 30min of my time, without an appointment guarantee.

It did NOT happen over night. It took me YEARS.

💃🏻 That’s why I created my community, She Owns Solo.

To help women behind the chair build a business that takes home $150k+ working 3 days a week, without being a doormat.

And it’s free to start 👯‍♀️

I was stuck in the “Kristen the hairstylist” identity for too long… and it made me regret so many things.

Time I couldn’t get back with my son for ungrateful clients.

Trauma from forcing myself to act like everything was normal.

And barely any money to scrape by for all that trouble.

So when I moved to Texas, I decided I was going to do things DIFFERENTLY.

🌱 Building a sustainable business that gave me more time with family.

And healing myself from the hustle culture that created the toxic identity and habits I built over the years.

Now? I help other women behind the chair do the same.

Because f*ck hustle culture.
We have kids we want to be present for.
And a life we want to enjoy living.

But to do so, you need to build a business that gives you the freedom of CHOICE.

That power comes from destroying the industry standards that have been ground into us since beauty school.

The things the gurus say you “have to do” to be successful.

It’s not true, and I’m the proof that you can do things differently.

So if you’re tired of feeling like the hustle is getting you nowhere fast, or are looking for the mentorship you need to truly scale your business ⬇️

She Owns Solo was created for you.

1. Have “A La Carte” services

Everything is bundled together because that helps for ☝🏼 price transparency and 2️⃣ result consistency.

2. Price quote your clients “per service”

HELL NO. The price I give is for the GOAL and what is achievable during that session. Not by listing everything out line by line.

3. Have services with “general names”

You couldn’t catch me using terms like “Partial” or “Full” in my service names.

Every client under the sun knows that terminology.

It sets their expectations as to what you will be doing before they even sit in your chair—limiting your creative freedom.

4. Charge less for “certain things,” like base touchups

NO. Every service is priced to ensure that my pay is CONSISTENT.

Would it be fun showing up to an appointment where you’re taking a pay cut? No. It wouldn’t.

5. Just do “what’s on the books”

I upsell every single client based on their past retail purchases, appointment history, and time of the year.

It’s how I add an extra $600+ to my days without seeing more clients OR raising my prices.

With a 96% retention rate.

Because this system works so well, it will level up your client experience too.

✅ And I’m going to teach all of this inside my community, She Owns Solo

I went from $0 to $285,000 in less than 9 months as an independent stylist, and in this community I’ll show you exactly how to do it too.

(btw, I only worked 3 days a week, 6-8hr days)

Discounting to stay busy is a double edged sword 🗡️

You train your clients to expect your services to go on sale at some point… and hold out till they do.

So you lose money on the sale, and on poorly trained clients.

Ask me how I know.

I’ve been doing have for 16 years, and in the beginning I followed the industry standards of ‘discount when you’re slow to fill your books.’

Now I never have a single slow season and raise my prices 2-4x a year.

💡 That’s what happens when you build brand recognition within your community

Instead of blending in with all the other stylists who are slow after the holidays and during the summer months, you’re in demand throughout the year.

But there is a reason why 90%+ of hairstylists will never hit 6 figure years.

It’s because the old industry standards are broken. They have been for a long time.

but there is a genuine fear that independent stylists have when it comes to doing something different. Something the average are not doing.

🌱 That’s why I created She Owns Solo

So you can learn the exact systems I used to make $20k months working just 3 days a week (6-8 hours a days)

P.S. if you’re wondering “why is making so much money important to you?” The answer is simple: Freedom to choose.

To choose family.
To choose time off when you need it mentally.
To choose your health.
To choose YOURSELF.

There is a bigger purpose than just “I want to get rich.”

Money rich is surface level.

Freedom to choose? That’s real wealth.

There are a lot of babies around here at the moment 🫪

Chicks, goslings, and turkeys 🦃

Painting a mural in Adaline’s room for her 7th birthday (why did the time go by so quickly?!)

With baby number 3 on the way (due date February 13 😮)

We had our first ultrasound and the heartbeat was 171 BPM, so you think we’re having a boy or girl?

P.S. I have to apologize, I haven’t shown much of my *life* because I don’t live the style that is perpetually shown on IG.

I kinda like peaceful and humble… with an obnoxious amount of animals where there is no cell service for miles (but Starlink because ya girl has to work somehow 🫣🤫)

Anyway, I’m over that fear. Here’s my life after selling the $1M salon and moving out to the Ozarks ♥️

07/10/2026

A salon owner once told me I’d never make it on my own.

I wouldn’t know if she was shocked when she found out I made $285k working just 3 days a week — with a 75% profit margin

I’m the proof that you can be wildly successful as an independent stylist

But I don’t actually measure my success on what I’ve done in the past…

…I measure it based on how many hairstylists I can help get there too.

Like Kaitlyn Ireland ⍚ Arizona Hairstylist who learned my MMM Method this week and added +$95 in unscheduled service revenue her first day back to work. So proud of you, sister ♥️

If you want to increase your income while working less, you need:

Technical skill 🚫 Business skill ✅

I know a lot of hairstylists who are very talented and also very broke.

It’s why I created my mentorship community, She Owns Solo.

Because that one salon owner? They were wrong.

That family member who says you don’t have a ‘real job’? They are wrong.

If you want to build a business that proves those people wrong, without you having to say a dang thing (your success will speak for itself)

I would love to help you get there in She Owns Solo ♥️

And I’m planning on taking more time with baby number 3 🤰🏻

It’s wild to look back and see how much bs I took when I was in my 20s… things that were completely unnecessary.

But I told myself I ‘had to’ if I wanted to be successful.

Looking back at 34 years old, I can’t tell you how wrong I was.

Being HARDER to book with increased my requests ✅

Offering less services booked more luxury clients ✅

Raising my prices 40% increased my income even when I switched from 5 days a week to 3 ✅

You CAN go against the system, be successful, and have a *you* identity—not just ‘a hairstylist’

Balance isn’t fake, it’s a real thing… and the salon “gurus” who say you can’t make it on your own?

They are wrong.

I’m the proof 👉🏼 made $285,000 at 75% profit margins on a 3 day workweek WHILE taking time off whenever I needed it.

I don’t measure my success as what matters though… my real success comes from teaching others how to get there (and beyond).

🪧 Or a stylist who is ready to quit the salon and open your own successful business

07/05/2026

1. You need a cancelation policy

…no, they actually suck at doing what they were ‘supposed’ to do: deter clients from canceling last minute.

But what happens instead?

You get a faulty card on file, client harasses you if you do charge the card OR you just get a CC dispute and the client gets the money back anyway.

Non-refundable Deposits instead 🤌🏼💋

2. Prebooking

…absolutely not! When I stopped back in 2019, it was the BEST DECISION I ever made.

I’m only booked 4 weeks in advance, can take new clients more often and am able to live life spontaneously.

No more last minute rescheduling 🤌🏼💋

3. Giving clients my phone number

…I changed my phone number the same year I stopped pre-booking and never gave it to another client, being LESS AVAILABLE has been the biggest balancer between work and life.

You can actually chill when you get home. No more of this ‘oh btw’ stuff at 11:00 at night.

Email communication only 🤌🏼💋

4. Don’t book online or your schedule will be messed up

…I refuse to be a receptionist. I’m a business owner and my time will go towards the things that MAKE BIG MONEY.

Set a foolproof online booking system instead 🤌🏼💋

5. Look at other salons to price your services competitively

…nope. I want to KNOW my numbers and profit margins like the back of my hand so I can take home *so much* more money than I ever would working for a commission salon.

Set structured disposable product per service 🤌🏼💋
Keep indirect costs (like rent) under 30% 🤌🏼💋💋💋
Profit 60-70% on every service I offer 🤌🏼💋💋💋💋

Industry ‘standards’ have kept stylists in boxes for decades, and I’m here to change that 🙋🏻‍♀️

The first place you need to start is knowing your profit margins.

The first year I went independent, I charged $69 for a full highlight, haircut and deep conditioning treatment — these appointments took me 6 hours.

That was in 2015.

My last client paid $675 for a 2.5hr balayage service.

One thing I have figured out over the years is that the hard work you put in today will pay off in the coming years.

I made the mistakes, did what I felt like I ‘had to’ — and now I empower other independent stylists to skip the mistakes I made.

Make the road to success a little smoother, and with a whole hell of a lot more support.

It’s why I created my community, She Owns Solo — build a business that takes-home $150k+ working 3 days a week

While I mentor you through the entire process from A-Z
